III. OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENTS
1. COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES:
List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate some of them in terms of specific measurable
student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills to be attained as a result of completing this course.
For degree-applicable courses, include objectives in the area of "critical thinking." Upon successful completion of
this course, the students will be able to:
Implement problem solutions in a programming language, including coding, testing and debugging,
and documentation.
2. COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for
non-credit courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess,
anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
Students must develop and evaluate computer programming solutions based on user-defined
requirements.
3. ASSESSMENT
Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category A, B, or C. If category A is not
checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part
of the grade.
A. This course requires a minimum of two substantial (500 words each) written assignments which demonstrate
standard English usage (grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary) and proper paragraph and essay development. In
grading these assignments, instructors shall use, whenever possible, the English Department’s rubric for grading the
ENGL 150 exit essay. Substantial writing assignments, including:
__ essay exam(s)
_ term or other paper(s)
___ laboratory report(s)
__ written homework
__ reading report(s)
__ other (specify)
If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate because:
__ The course is primarily computational in nature.
_X The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
__ Other rationale (explain) __________________________________
B.
Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including:
__ quizzes
_ homework problems
_X_ laboratory report(s)
__ field work
__ other (specify) _________________________________________
__ exam(s)
C.
Skill demonstrations, including:
X_ class performance(s)
__ field work
__ other (specify) ______________________________________
__ performance exam(s)
D.
Objective examinations, including:
multiple choice
__ true/false
__ matching items
completion
__ other (specify) ________________________________
E.
Other (specify)
NOTE: A course grade may not be based solely on attendance.
